It would seem that there is nothing difficult about growing cacti, because they are one of the most unpretentious plants that you can imagine.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , that is true: cacti are capable of growing even in the harshest conditions, but few people manage to make them bloom.

If you want to see a blooming cactus, in addition to providing the plant with light and moisture, you also need to add fertilizers.

If you don't want to use chemicals to feed your prickly pet, try replacing them with cinnamon.

To stimulate flowering, sprinkle the soil in the cactus pot with a small amount of cinnamon once a month.

Half a teaspoon of aromatic seasoning is enough.

There is another option for using cinnamon as a fertilizer - making an infusion.

To do this, you will need to stir a tablespoon of the spice in a liter of water and leave it for a day, and then add a tablespoon of the resulting infusion to the soil depending on the cactus's need for moisture.
